How to ask "Should I move a little" in Spanish?

Question

Hello everyone!

I've just started learning Spanish for a few months, how do I ask these questions in Spanish...

A photographer is taking a photograph of me, so I ask in Spanish ... Should I move a little? / Should I move a little to the right? (can I just add a la derecha to the end?) / Should I move a little to the left? (can I just add a la izquierda to the end?)

I am taking a photograph of someone, and I need to say... Please move a little to the right / Please move a little to the left Can you move a little to the right / Please move a little to the left

Can't seems to find this sentence online, would appreciate any help!

To me: I would say, por favor muevase un poquito a su derecha/izquierda(depending where you wanted to move) If you say his/her right/left, it would be easier to understand. - juanmelgar, Jul 16, 2014

Answer 1

Please move a little to the right/left> Por favor muévase un poco a la derecha/izquierda. Can you move a little to the right/left> ¿Puede moverse un poco a la derecha/izquierda? Should I move a little?> ¿Debo moverme un poco? Should I move a little to the right/left?>¿Debo moverme un poco a la derecha/izquierda?

Answer 2

I am the photographer:

                             Por favor muevase un poco a su(your) izquierda.

                             Por favor muevase un poco a su(your) izquierda.

                             or, ¿puede moverse un poco a su izquierda/derecha?

The photographer is having my picture taken:

              ¿Debo de moverme un poco a su izquierda o a su derecha?

If you say su izquierda o su derecha, you are making it easier to understan for the person you are talking to.

Answer 3

If you are working with a good photographer, he will tell you how he wants you, so you don´t need to concern yourself with asking about moving around.

Positioning yourself for a photo is very small movement, so if you don´t hear "moverse" you will hear, at least in Mexico: Hazte (tú) / hagase (UD.) un poco a la derecha / izquierda / etc, which is very common

You are missing the point here. The thing is that people want to know how to say it. And it does not matter if it is necessary or not. I don't want to be in a photo session where everything and everybody is quiet. - juanmelgar, Jul 18, 2014
